New Pope keeps some officials
Pope John Paul I retained most of Pope Paul VI era Vatican central administration. He reappointed Cardinal Jean Villot as Secretary of State and kept nine Congregation heads, including Cardinal John Wright of Boston who was hospitalized for eye surgery and later released. The pope reconfirmed Archbishop Agostino Casaroli as Secretary of the Council for Public Affairs and granted five year terms to most appointees, with personal selections exempt. Possible consistory may elevate cardinals, with Tokyo Dublin and Turin among cities not yet led by cardinals.
